After all these years I learn I didn't know so much about songs I knew so well!

i like the site, thanks for the link - but some of the (users') comments are so unbelievably stupid that i really wonder where those people get their ideas from...

prime example: bohemian rhapsody being about aids (mhm, in 1975...)

fortunately, some comments have enlightening things to say. strict moderation would do the site a lot of good, though.

I didn't realize as I didn't even look at the comments.
I just looked at the facts.

I like the site as navigation is fast, direct, easy.
No B.S. run around.

I discovered it when searching to verify the true recording session's locations and dates for Zep's Physical Grafitti. Which songs were from the Zep III, Zep IV & HOTH sessions.

Thanks for the link. Some of the facts (and all of the user comments) are pretty basic, but most of it is really interesting.

Good find, I use a similar website called http://www.songmeanings.net/

no, read the comments as well - if you have an internal /ignore button

all in all the comments are not as bad as i initially thought (the 'top ten list' has most of the nutcases), quite the contrary: some knowledgeable fans provide additional insight, and there's some discussion going on (slightly hindered by the sub-par forum technology). even if only part of the comments is based on fact, the myths are interesting as well

apparently the better contributions are regularly added to the 'facts' part - that's a fine and civil way of moderation that leaves the decision to the reader. so at second glance i like the site even better and wholeheartedly recommend it for any music fan.

thanks, another nice find...

yet again i stumble over 'bohemian rhapsody' and again a sad fellow "opines" that it's about aids... yes, in 1975... this has to be the most ignorant urban legend in musical history.

but i won't make the same mistake again and this time read more before i let loose in general about the comments' quality
